well it depeneds what kind of gold/sliver it is really. LOL joking i just really had the earge to comment on this lol <3.
If you see 925 engraved on the ring, that means it's a sterling silver setting. Usually, engagement rings with a larger center diamond won't be set in sterling silver because it's too soft. And if you see a stamp that says "CZ," you're looking at a cubic zirconia stone, rather than a real diamond.
No
What does it mean
The 925 is an indication of sterling silver, not gold.
0.925 gm
GM 925 on jewelry indicates that the piece is made of sterling silver, with "925" denoting that it contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. The "GM" may refer to the manufacturer or a specific brand associated with the jewelry. This marking ensures the quality and authenticity of the silver used in the piece.
It is unlikely that a bracelet would weigh 925 gm (grams), about two pounds. A close look at the bracelet should reveal that the 925 is preceeded by a decimal point---".925"---that is stamped on the piece of jewelry (ring, earring, bracelet, etc.) to denote that it is comprised of 92.5% silver. The remaining 7.5% is a hardening agent, often tin or copper. The fact that the bracelet in question appears to have "gm" following the number could be coincidental in that it could be the initials of the manufacturer or jeweler.
That 9.25 percent of the chain is silver the rest is of various

they are worth $340 each
it just means the diamond is set in silver and not gold. Rarely can the metal setting for any jewelery authenticate the stones set therein. The numeric stamp 925 is an indicator of silver metal, and whether or not this is accurate may require testing.
